Arctic Ground Squirrel

The Arctic ground squirrel inhabits much of Alaska, favoring the alpine tundra landscape. It hibernates during the winter months in a state called torpor. It seems that all animals are out to get the squirrel, including birds, fox, wolves, bears and so on. For this reason, you often see the ground squirrel in an upright and alert position.
